Welcome back to on the -- policies -- -- live on Jonathan -- -- -- the daily -- -- with Judy Miller.

-- you -- -- seen some of the video oh yes today from Lansing Michigan.

-- the right to work legislation was signed by the governor that.

Some violence.

Some incidence of violence we should probably say among all of that Judy -- Believes that it was a little bit ignored -- much of the media have so Judy.

Just astonishing I mean Jonathan ask yourself this question had this been a Tea Party rally and people have conducted themselves in that manner.

-- do not -- front page headlines in every newspaper in the country and on every broadcast network yes you wouldn't and the extent to which.

The violence associated with the union reaction to the setbacks in Michigan and other states.

He's very very interesting now it's true that the print media have covered this extensively and they've also done.

A pretty good job of that talking about the right to work movement Tenet the way in which it spread out of the south and opt -- to the -- throughout the context.

Of what unions have done for the American workers.

Is rarely mentioned I think that's another failing of the American League really my guess is that you haven't seen a lot of attention to the history.

The labor -- group and when you're saying they're like good when you sing that good that they've done as well as you look right absolutely so you don't get either the.

Violence that's now episodic -- at Michelle Malkin pointed out in one of her columns.

There are more and more incidents have it right up I you don't see that.

The negatives of this movement but you don't have a lot of attention to the positives as well the fact that he hadn't.

Child labor.

Anti child labor -- Minimum wage.

-- health and compensation.

For people who are sick and the eight hour workweek -- Things we now take for granted -- -- in this country were largely a result of the union and union organizations so you can understand why.

People don't really.

They're kind of position to access what's going on right because they're not being told the negatives of the positive always.

Well always worth pointing out as we frequently doing it and when you see violence on video though we've seen instances without cost differences involving violence.

You notice you never get the whole picture and we should point out because we do.

Perhaps only on the other side we should point out that.

This was the -- at the -- the violence that was directed against the policies contribute -- -- we old soul was an edited version of that.

Backed by that contributed himself I believe so we don't know what surrounded that and clearly.

He had somebody Betty doing him it's focused on him as well yes so my only caution would be to everybody always look at everything and think -- what are we not see it.

It's kind of like the intelligence from Ben Ghazi the first of records are always Ron's night and edited video is something that automatically -- -- raise flags -- people's minds.

What aren't we seeing you know we I don't know hours getting back -- -- -- On North Korea and their rocket launch.

I have to agree with Gordon when -- just turned on on this program.

I think this is a very provocative action it settles once and for all the question of whether the sun.

Is going to be radically different from his father now we see that in fact T is very much following his father's course.

I think that the people who must be the most exasperated.

Other right after the -- expect Obama administration right now has to be the Chinese because China.

Is the one country that isn't position.

To do more to correct North Korea's behavior and they are not doing enough and that this is an instance where you would expect some very quiet diplomacy.

Between President Obama.

And -- Chinese leadership because this.

They really have the leverage that we don't have really gotten sanctions.

I'm Gordon says they could be stronger I probably agreed that in fact of the matter is you're dealing with a rogue state that needs a very very strong message sent.

China is in the best position to send it.

We ought to be exercising some quote leadership from behind and pushing them to do more they supply -- North -- fuel.

If they could to stop this tomorrow if they really -- and.

Okay Judy Miller Fox News contributor between Judy act's chief -- free speech and watch us Saturdays to -- in 11:30 PM.

He said on FOX News Watch hosted.

By Jon Scott Judy -- obviously was talking there about the the union laws that -- just being -- in Michigan want you to weigh in on our question of the day all the unions helping -- hurting the American -- good point to Judy was bringing up they've done.

Good and now they're getting a lot of criticism so what do you think the unions help the workers today the -- because well they sometimes help and sometimes perhaps sit on the fence if you like.

-- Judy thank you very much great see you as always.
